Here are two daily line charts which show the daily count of the number of issues traded on the New York Stock Exchange which advance in price. On the first chart the pink line is the 5 day moving average of this number. On the second chart the wiggly red line is the 10 day moving average of this number. I last commented on this indicator here.You can see that both the daily count and its 5 day moving average have been moving downward since late August even as the market averages have rallied. The 10 day moving average shows the same behavior. I regard this as a significant bearish divergence and I think it portends a drop to about 1420 in the S&P futures and 141 in the Spiders. After this break I shall be expecting a move to new bull market highs.

Hi carl,
you mentioned about bearish divergence developing. But if tomorrow fed lowers rate significantly(may be 50bps), dont you think it would have a positive impact? just my opinion. thanks
Peter
I like your blog a lot, but I like posts like this the most. Your rational is much easier to understand based on the accompanying charts
